Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death

In Texas, wrongful death lawsuits can be brought for deaths caused by drowning, electrocution, assault, car accidents, and others. Texas wrongful death law covers a very broad range of liability, and navigating who can file a lawsuit and what compensation they can receive can be very difficult without an experienced attorney.

You just lost a loved one in an accident, and we all know losing a loved one is very emotionally-tolling. Then, before you’ve even had time to grieve, you are hit with medical bills and funeral expenses. What if the person who died was the primary breadwinner? Filing a wrongful death lawsuit can help you get the compensation you need to be able to pay for your loved one’s funeral expenses and medical bills, and can also compensate you for your pain and suffering.

There are two main purposes behind bringing a wrongful death lawsuit. First, you want to be compensated for the death of your loved one, so that you can afford to pay their expenses and be compensated for your pain and suffering. Second, these lawsuits are brought to punish the actor or behavior that caused your loved one’s death.
